It is easy to dock. But has anyone else found it a bit odd when touching down on the pad? Most other ships I find I can just plonk down, on the pad, with the blue confirmation and it docks. The type 6 I need to slide around a bit to find the spot it wants a bit more accurately and it doesn't seem to be the precise center or when the confirmation is blue. I got the docking computer to see what it did with the type 6 and it lands quite heavily and then slides to the left. It is like it is still thrusting down and has nowhere to go but left. Once (out of 4 docks) it obviously slid way too far to the left and was taking consistent damage to the shields. So I had to take over. I think there was a little shield damage on most of the other computer dockings. Not a big deal you just slide around on the pad with left/right or forward/reverse thrust until it connects.

Its best ship in game atm due to its jump range.
Quite easy to handle and descent speed.
Not that good to fight in but ive put up 2 missile racks in hardpoints for defence purpose.

I have problems whit the utility slot. Point defence turret is not showing up under fire groups so I cant active them or put them into any firegroup.

I slotted a heat sinker module. And taking of from a station it launch a heatsinker all the time automaticly.
Trying to set the heatsinker module into a separate firegroup affect instead one of the "invisible" defence turret.
Selling the heatsinker, then you cant interact at all whit the turret.
Ive ticket it.

In a station there is 3 different landing pads. small, medium and large.
The ship use the medium pads but everytime I dock and go into the hangar have a real loud sound coming from the hangar. Sound issue that is stuck in a loop and wont go away until I leave the landing pad.

Ticket that as well.


Tend to build up heat fast during boost and hyperjump.
But iam gona use this ship as an explorer ship and visit every system and planets there is atm :)

when you look at the external view you see it standing high on its legs.
but at touchdown its like you land it on its body.
its like collision detection for landing is not taken from the landing struts.
